    If what you want is a population that thinks "civics" is boring and stupid, math is useless, English is incomprehensible, science is only for geeks AND thinking and asking questions is a good way to get in trouble, you should create a compulsory system to train your future population to believe "the truth". Oh wait, they did...
    from a teacher who pushed kids to do and to learn what they were interested in [I can teach you math, for example, using any subject you want!]; to question everything, including me; convinced them that knowing how to find and prove facts was more important than memorizing them: reduce the government schools to rubble, sow salt on the ruins, and help people learn the way it makes sense.
    I teach basic pistol, too.......

    You may hear at times that the establishment of the educational system is not in the Constitution; however, the Constitution, as we all can tell has no bearing on what government does, so it is useless to mention it.

    At the bottom line, the only way to fight such evil is to homeschool or privately education your children, if at all possible. Believe me, if all those that could afford to privately education their children did, the framework for public education would change, or martial law would be instituted to force the issue.

    Jamie Highfill, a teacher at Woodland Junior High School in Arkansas, told the Times that the directive was bad for a well-rounded education.
    "I'm afraid we are taking out all imaginative reading and creativity in our English classes.
    "In the end, education has to be about more than simply ensuring that kids can get a job. Isn't it supposed to be about making well-rounded citizens?"

    Public schools have totally lost their way. What a joke

        A huge Plus-one to you, sir. You have it exactly right.

        Read the Communist Manifesto. And pay special attention to point #10 of the ten-point plan.

        Then take a look at John Dewey, the architect of the Amerian public school system. Pay special attention to his COMMUNIST ideals...

          My first experience with a public school was in Virginia. My mom and I had moved from Pittsburgh, and while there I had attended The Falk School. It was on the campus of the Pitt.
          When I started the third grade in VA, the teachers there didn't know what to do with me. I was reading at a 12th grade level, math and science were not far behind. What happened was the teachers would put me in an area alone, give me a few things to read, and basically "slowed" my education.

          My mom was newly divorced, so private school was out of the question. What a great system we have!!!
